Well, I appreciate his work with Bush, and I do agree that they were/are underrated and took a little more abuse than they deserved, at times.

Institute, well, they were fucking excellent live, enjoyable to meet (actually found Gavin to be the least enjoyable to talk to, to be honest) but overall, the record and the quality of the songwriting was mostly below the level of Bush.

The solo record, titled "Wanderlust", comes out June 3rd in the US.
I've heard it, and to be completely honest, while I really do like "Love Remains the Same" and a track from it called "Futureworld" (which is actually a kinda cool reggae song he co-wrote with Dave Stewart) I otherwise found it to be really weak and full of bland soft-rock. There are moments where you hear bits of melody and chord changes that have potential, but then it'll shift from a strong verse into a chorus that just sounds bad or out of step with the rest of the song.

There really ought to be a "Nigel Pulsford appreciation thread", as he was definitley the coolest and brought the most soul to the band. And his solo record is better than Gavin's, too.

I used to love Bush. They wrote really catchy songs.
I heard Love Remains the Same and I really hate it. I don't understand why he wants to go into such a boring adult contemporary direction. It doesn't suit his voice at all. If the rest of his solo record is like that, I'm not interested. I'm dissappointed to hear it's soft rock and not some of the more guitar heavy stuff Bush did.

We had some dork at my high school who was also trying to be Gavin Rossdale, and he even was in a Bush cover band. They played at some school event, all the super alternative freshmen girls were squealing, etc.
The 1990s sucked!

This review is both too dead on and too hilarious not to post:

From: Album Review: Wanderlust

Album Review: Wanderlust

By Michael Roffman on June 2nd, 2008

Album Review: Wanderlust

To Gavin Rossdale,

It’s been a long time since you’ve actually released anything considered ‘relevant.’ That may sound like a harsh statement, but it’s certainly a truthful one. Between the last Bush record and now, which has been, believe it or not, eight years, you’ve thrown out a single (2002’s “Adrenaline” for that Vin Diesel film), you’ve started a horrible side project (2005’s lame Institute), and now this, your solo effort. To be honest, your only success since then has been your child, Kingston.

But then again, that’s half of Gwen’s effort, too.

To be blunt, this is a horrible album, Mr. Rossdale. Double vocal tracks? Nickelback-like sing alongs? What the hell were you thinking? Have you been living under a rock? This music is a joke. There’s only a few I can even stomach enough to listen through all the way. With songs like “If You’re Not With Us You Are Against Us”, it’s a wonder how this ever made it through the record companies.

At least with Institute there were some songs to be salvaged. Hell, even “Adrenaline” had a few hooks. Here, you’re relying on your name (which has been out of the spotlight for nearly a decade) and your voice alone, which is slaughtered under the digital layering that you might consider “hip.” Your lyrics were once fascinating, probably because they made little to no sense, but that was okay. Now, you lack that mysterious punch that made “Letting The Cables Sleep” and “Warm Machine” so invigorating.

This doesn’t seem like an overnight thing, either. This laziness was apparent even on Institute, where some songs carried bullshit slogans like, “Walk fast through burning buildings/ Kill youth with your easy listening.” Pardon my French, but what the fuck? And don’t get me started on the interpretations here, like the “atmospheric” clusterfuck of “Frontline”, which carries lyrics like “Standing on the frontline/ Devil got me doing time”.

Wow. That deep, huh?

Even in the abysmal wasteland that is this solo effort, there is something to respect (albeit self deprecatingly). “The Trouble I’m In” reminds us why we’ve stuck around with the British loon all these years. It’s not much, but given the resulting album, it’s an improvement. Unfortunately, that’s about it.

So here’s what you do, Mr. Stefani. It’s obvious that your film career is going nowhere. Does anyone even remember 2005’s Constantine? Did this year’s The Bank Job make you a family name? No and no. And if my own bickering and negativity sold you on the notion that this solo career isn’t such a hot idea, then where does this leave you?

How about doing what everyone else is doing and start up the ol’ band again? Sure, it’s contrived, but hey, so is this. And to think, the market wants it, too! Stone Temple Pilots is going strong now. Both Blind Melon and Alice in Chains are rocking across the globe and their lead singers have been dead for nearly a decade. So, what’s stopping Bush?

It’s the logical thing to do now. This solo album? Beyond illogical. It’s asinine bordering on insane, actually. There’s no need to pursue this further than the few tour dates you have penciled in. If you can even cancel those, I’d recommend it.

Time to start making some calls, beginning with Nigel.

-A concerned fan

p.s. And to think, this was the planned Bush follow up! Yikes!

It was posted in the mp3 thread.

I bet he is filled with contempt for his wife. He hates her music (and probably thinks he's more talented) but she's the successful one.

So sad they'll release Gavin's album but not Shirley Manson's. The Nickelback comparison - damn that has to be some kind of awful.

He's gotten Nickleback comparisons before; I found the following a couple years back in a random review I'd read about the Institute record:

"If Nickleback were fronted by a wannabe pretty boy instead of an ugly Canadian lumberjack, then they would sound like Institute. Needless to say, this is horrible. "

That's pure fucking gold, right there. lol.
